Typically, such a procedure is carried out in cases where it is necessary to increase the amount of planting material and stimulate bud growth.
This method is also possible if the tubers are too large.
But this method is not the safest.
This is due to the fact that the slices can quickly become infected.
As experts note, wet rot and late blight are often transmitted during cutting.
You should also avoid dividing potatoes if the weather is damp and cool on the day of planting. In this case, the planting material risks rotting quickly.
Parts can be planted under certain conditions. The weather should be warm and dry, and the soil should warm up to 12 degrees Celsius.
The tubers should be cut on the day of planting. It is advisable to treat the cut with wood ash.
In addition, after each division, the knife itself should be processed. To do this, it is enough to periodically dip the device in boiling water.
